Your off-mains drainage system works tirelessly behind the scenes, but without regular professional upkeep, you risk severe blockages, mechanical failures, and environmental compliance breaches. Whether you manage a domestic property or a large commercial site, Cargate Engineering provides expert sewage treatment plant servicing and pump station maintenance to keep your systems running flawlessly.

Our fully trained, British Water Accredited engineers do more than just empty your tank. We conduct comprehensive mechanical and electrical diagnostics to catch minor wear and tear before it turns into an expensive emergency callout.

Septic Tank Emptying Services

What Our Servicing Includes

A standard maintenance visit from our engineers includes:

  • Mechanical Component Checks: Inspecting submersible pumps and other moving parts for optimal performance and signs of fatigue.
  • Electrical Diagnostics: Testing alarms and float switches to ensure your system triggers correctly in the event of a fault.
  • Filter & Pipework Cleaning: Removing trapped debris and clearing effluent filters to maintain maximum flow capacity and prevent back-ups.
  • De-sludging & Emptying: If required, we can deploy our own fleet of vacuum tankers to safely remove accumulated sludge and dispose of it at licensed treatment facilities.
  • Compliance Documentation: Providing you with full service reports to prove your system complies with Environment Agency General Binding Rules.
